    Good Points: Nothing above ordinary


    Bad Points: Noisy and juddering spin; inefficient drier; poor spin results - doesn't drain well; has not lasted well - could it be poor build quality or a serious design fault?


    General comments: The machine was less than six months old and it failed - the spin would not drain. Contacted Baumatic who sent a contractor engineer - replaced the pump. To be fair it worked for two more years though the dryness of clothes after spinning was always poor and it has become increasingly noisy when spinning. 6 months ago we noticed water underneath - this has increased to a mini flood each time. I called the same engineer out ( he no longer works with Baumatic). He discovered that the drum had corroded and in his view it would be cheaper to scrap it and buy a new machine. Three and half years old! I contacted Baumatic to challenge this and they have offered to provide a new machine but only at a discounted price - about £100 off. When questioned about the longevity of the machine - or rather, the lack of it, the response was that yes the expectation is that a machine should last for years but sometimes they fail! And Baumatic will accept responsibility only to the extent of the guarantee period! Not a particularly good endorsement by the company for its own products or for customer relations.
    This machine has now been superceded but there are still examples around for sale. The advice is - don't!

    This tumble dryer was recommended by an independent service engineer (shop sales promotion?) as a replacement to a faithful old Hotpoint washer drier (more cost effective to replace existing machine). The Baumatic BDW12 almost made 10 months without fault (wash programme sticking and not draining). The independent shop (supplier) is not interested, as the machine still under manufacturers warranty. The manufacturer was contacted, and the earliest visit was in 10 weeks. An engineer (outsourced ...

    I wonder how long my Baumatic BWD12 tumble dryer will last? It is only 2 weeks old and already needs a good smack to get it to start. The buttons get stuck in. It has got more programs than you could possibly ever want, but probably not the one you want. The manual is useless.

    The dryer is joke. Get a good airier - you'll need it. Don't be fooled by class A energy efficiency! Appliance energy efficiency ratings on such things are a joke, trust me I am an engineer. Efficiency is 'what you get ...

    I had my Baumatic Tumble Dryer fitted as part of a new kitchen less than 3 years ago. The kitchen people said this was a really good make, and stupidly I took their word for it.

    On the first use I had to call the engineer out because it was smoking!! I must have had him out 10 times each year - noise , vibration, 2 new pumps, etc etc. The list goes on and on. This machine vibrates so much that the only thing holding my microwave on the unit was the plug in the socket on the wall!!

    In Janu ...

    I bought this Washer/Dryer from www.appliance.co.uk less than two months ago. I made a mistake - I confused the brand with Bauknecht in Germany so I guess it's my fault. However, for a new washer dryer, the noise level is very high. The machine jumps to and fro during spinning cycle. The drying facility leaves clothes creased and very stiff - even at the low temperature. And to top it all off, the machine is now broken. Water squirts out of the back at the start of the cycle. I will never get a ...
